I highly recommend everyone to check this site out and find one in their state and give it a try. This is a fun match for both beginners and pros! It is low cost, requires equipment you probably already have and its a great oppertunity for adults and kids to break into competative shooting. Plus they give away several guns! I shoot 2 or three of these a year and drive as far as 4 hrs to do this. You won't be disappointed. Any .22 is allowed, doesnt have to be Rugers.http://www.ruger.com/micros/rugerRimfire/index.html
